Are the PCI slots on my motherboard damaged?

Hello,

I am having trouble with 2 of my 3 pci slots on my motherboard. If I plug my wireless adapter into the first pci slot, the device works without any problem. If I plug it into the 2nd or 3rd pci slot however, the device is detected in windows, it installs properly, the device manager says its installed and working properly, but I don't have an internet connection and when I troubleshoot the device, it says their is a hardware problem.

I've recently been making some hardware changes, new graphics card, new power supply, new bluray player and so on, so I'm worried that somewhere along the line I've caused some damage, but since the devices are recognized and say they are working properly in the device manager, and since it works in one of the 3 pci slots, I'm not sure what to make of this.

I have an ASUS Amberine motherboard. The specs are here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...name=c00496044

Thanks for any input.

Try resettting your PnP data in the BIOS settings. It may be called "Reset ESCD".
